Other Matters.

NEW York. July 20.
The announcement that Jem Smith and
Jake Kilrain have been matched has been
made public. According to this manifesto
they will meet i'll Spain on Jan. 3, 1888
there to battle with bare knuckles and to a
finish, OF course. The site will be selected
within 100 miles of Madrid, and it is an
nounced that only limited number of spec
tators will be permitted to witness the bat
tie. The match has really been made and
money put up on each side, and still do
not believe the men will face one another in
the Square circle" on the appointed day.

be in private, Kilrain would be morally GER

REVIVAL AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

The meetings at the Christian church will
be continued. The subject of Elder D. R.
Lucas last night was the "Second Coming of
Christ" summary of which may be stated
as follows:
/. Will Jesus come again, Yes. Acts, LIST
chapter.
G How will he come? Personally.
3. For what purpo e! To raise the dead,
to change the mortal body into an immortal
one, to judge the world in Righteousness, to
reward his saints and condem the wicked.
4. When viii he Gomez Not definitely
known; but after the fulfllment Of the
prophecies and the apostary has been ac-
complshed,
Conclusion-That Jesus once come, that
he died and rose again from the dead, that
he assembled up to heaven are the facts of the
past on which the church rests. The ques-
ton of his coming again rests on what
Jesus and his apostles said on the matter. 1t
is not to be determined by science or philos-
ophy but by the clear statements of the
divine word. 1t is not SO important that we
should know just when Jesus will come again
as it is to be prepared for his coming when
he appears

WORK RESUMED.

Yesterday was bright and beautiful day,
and as result the large number of work
men idle on account Of bad weather resumed
work, and the city presented lively scene.
On most of the buildings where the brick
work was incomplete q number Of hands
were employed in building the wall. Exca-
walton was commenced on number of
buildings Ground will be broken for several
moro buildings today if the weather admits.
All the banks of the city were closed, it
being Washingtons birthday. But few of
the business houses suspended business. The
streets were a perfect jam all day long.
Some walked leisurely along as though they
were enjoying holiday, while others accus-
toned to the double quick went at gait in
dicating ''snap" of some sort ahead

SLOW TO PAY.

When the city treasurers books closed last
evening six hundred and sixty-one gentlemen
in the city had decided that they were actu-
ally engaged 10 the real estate business. As
a result Of the decision they had paid the
amount asked by the city. The authorities
are complaining that such decisions are be
ing arrived at rather slowly, in fact too slow
for practical purposes, and little effort will
have 10 be made 70 quicken the evidence in

given for the amount required TO be paid In

policemen yesterday glanced over the names
of those who had paid, and said he knew of a

said he intended to raid the same in a few

CITY CROWDED.

1t will be remembered that Cole brothers
have made arrangements for running free
train to their addition which will be auction
ed today The train will leave the East
Douglas avenue at 1920 O'Clock sharp aid
return at $50.
Last night a special train arrived from
Louisville bringing five hundred passengers.
They came to be in attendance at the auc-
ton and take a good square look at the
metropolis of the great southwest Quite a
large crowd arrived from Indiana and Hi
nois and a few more from Michigan.
Last night. as usual, all the hotels in the
city were more than filled Cots were placed
in the parlors for the purpose of acconodat-
ing as many as possible.
In speaking with prominent hotel man
in the city yesterday he stated that he never
saw Wichita so croweed with visitors. The
number OF arrivals last spring and fall sur
passed any other time but at present there
were even more visitors that then.

RAILROAD SWITCH.

Another scheme has matured," said 9
gentleman yesterday. st has been working
for some weeks, in fact, months, and at last
| the arrangements have been completed"
The above was followed by some remarks
inclined to create great interest in what
followed, and finally the desire to know
what it was become SO great that he was
permitted only to go direct into details.
Arrangements have been made with the
Wichita & Western for running a
switch from their line north
along the alley between Market
and Main streets to Williams street. The
object is to make the two streets suitable for
business houses, especially of the wholesaling
class.
The arrangements have been completed
for some time, but those interested have
been careful to not allow it to gain print.
One of the main spirits in the scheme has
made arrangements for a business establish
ment, which will be much benefited by the
switch.

COLLEGE GREEN.
The New Suburban Villa to be
Laid Out by the Catholics
Of Wichita.
The New Town Company Chartered
and all Ready for Business A
Depot. FIGURING Mill, an Ele-
vatOr, and Other Industries
Located There.

There has been much talk and newspape
wind about the location of the new Catholic
diocesan building, but the location was no
definitely settled and the papers executed
until yesterday. A site was looked up ant
partly agreed upon a week ago, but there
was no certainty that some of the parties
would not back OFT The deeds to the prop
erty, however, have all been made out anG
delivered, SO that now the whole matter is il
shape to make public. The town company
was granted a charter ON the 18th inst.
with Rev. NJ. j. Casey, president, T. b.
Lynch, vice president, ". H. Grattan, sec.
rotary, and E. j. Healy, treasurer, and all
these gentlemen with John Kennedy COM
posing the board of directors. The head
quarters of the company will be in the
office OF Grattan, Kennedy g. Co., where all
the business will be transacted.
The project has been made known to a
number of wealthy gentlemen and we I'M
derstand that So, 900 have already been re-
| ceived from outside parties for investment
| as soon as the villa is plated. 1t is said
that the bishop of Leavenworth has invested
good deal more than the company is will
ing to be made public at present. An EAGLE
reporter learned further that a site has been
bargained for upon which Touring mill and
an elevator are to be built, and that con-
tracts are made for the erection of several
fine residences the coming summer.
AS soon as the plat is made the streets will
be handsomely graded and the whole ground
put in fine shape.
The new building will be located upon
fine swell or knoll, on DR.. Richmonds place,
south of the Wichita & Western railroad
Fl. Scott & Wichita. The company have about
fifty acres of land in the vicinity which will
be plated but certain portions Of this will
be reserved, probably for sites for other in
situations, as we understand that the diocese
will require four or five other diocesan
buildings and institutions, and now that the
Catholics have SO much property on the west
side there can hardly be doubt that all the
diocesan institutions will 60 there. Negoti-
lions are in progress for side track and
depot with good prospects Of success, so
there is but little doubt that College Green
will spring up into an important suburban
villa in short time.
The Wichita Nation, the Catholic organ
of this city, will no doubt be used all over
the east to call attention to the matter and
10 boom the new burg, and probably other
papers Will be patronized to in this connec-
ton.
This is one of the largest schemes ever de-
vised in Wichita, and there seems no doubt
as to its success.
We understand that the new building will
be the same size as the Academy and that
the material has been ordered and opera
tions will begin at an early day. Verify
Wichita is sure to be great city and the
location here of the headquarters of diocese
of the Catholic church will be no small fac
tor in its greatness

| The story Of the s'Black Flag is of the
well known melo-dramatic kind, although
far better written than most of its prede-

the latter over the former, are smoothly told
and transpire with strong and occasional
thrilling effect. As to the acting there can

THE GAS WORKS.

While the Wichita Water Works company
are making great preparations to add extern
sively to their system this year by the ex
penditure of large sums, and the street rail
way company are branching out and talking
of double track, etc, the gas company will
not be idle. Superintendent Conway in
forms us that he is preparing for extensive
improvements about the works in the way OF
buildings, containers, retors, etc, which will
not cost less than thirty thousand dollars
every cent of which will be expended the
coming season.
